Nice entry. Surprising such a brilliant mind retired at the lowly rank of spearholder. But that's the Tarkerk Corps, for you, I guess- full of brilliant people accomplishing great things, yet so few rose to the ranks of the elite dullards who ostensibly led them.--[[User:Bast ResNovae|Bast ResNovae]] 11:57, 14 Sep 2004 (EDT) | Nice entry.

Nice entry. Surprising such a brilliant mind retired at the lowly rank of spearholder. But that's the Tarkerk Corps, for you, I guess- full of brilliant people accomplishing great things, yet so few rose to the ranks of the elite dullards who ostensibly led them.--Bast ResNovae 11:57, 14 Sep 2004 (EDT)
Bethany was not of the priveledged élite.
Well, while the ranks of Swordwielder, Spearholder and Reconaissance Background Magnetic Field Mapper are considered lowly for those commissioned into the forces (and recent moves to remove the ranks references to obsolete military rôles shows how little regard they have for the history and honour of those ranks) for someone who rose through the enlisted ranks to them they are still a matter of some pride. The fact that he kept the rank into retirement shows that Jan ver Daath was such a man.
He had indeed a great mind, but a deeply perverse one, and while his ideas influence much of the way we currently think as scholars to express them primarily through the production of mildly pornographic material and through seducing people under a false persona doesn't indicate a balanced mind, even if it is a great one.
But then I suspect you share scepticism here and that you are indeed the author of the "putrid body" comment I noted in the article. Is this the case? Has there been any inappropriate pressure put upon you by the more putrid of our colleagues (which would be perhaps most of them)? Would you be interested in selling your story?
